The Sword at Irregular Magical High School

A Blessing in the Clan

Well, continuing from the previous discussion, it's a pleasure to know that many people have enjoyed my stories, so I've decided not to abandon them. Greetings from your friend, KaleidoMirror. I'm attempting to update and enhance my stories. I'll bring you improved and revised versions for now.

Greetings to all.

Mitsuya Gen, the head of the esteemed Mitsuya family and one of the Ten Master Clans, bore a title of incredible influence on his shoulders. This title carried power that transcended even the judicial authorities of his nation, Japan.

In a world where twenty-eight families were deemed worthy of bearing the name of the Ten Master Clans, only ten possessed the most potent magic.

For Gen, who had been blessed with innate talent influenced by his family's genetic predisposition and supported by advanced economic and technological resources, this title marked a defining point in his life. Over his 45 years, he had elevated his family's legacy to new heights with his own hands. His primary research focus, "Multiple Magic Control," had yielded unique results that pushed the boundaries of how many magics could be activated simultaneously. He had extended this limit to unimaginable and exponential levels. This task was extraordinarily challenging, especially considering his family's magical casting technique, the "Speed Charger," allowing him to perform up to nine different magical sequences simultaneously and store them for instant and simultaneous release, based on the Four Different Systems. Facing a Mitsuya family mage was a nearly insurmountable challenge. Beyond being an International Agent for "small arms," he was an invaluable asset to his nation's magicians due to his overseas information network, operating independently from any government agency. Only his family, among the Ten Master Clans, possessed the capability to gather information through various arms transactions abroad.

The main Mitsuya residence was located in Atsugi, in the Kanto region, encompassing seven prefectures, with Kanagawa and its capital, Yokohama, being the most prominent. The region was characterized by hills and mountains, and Tokyo and Yokohama formed an industrial complex with a concentration of both light and heavy industry along the Tokyo Bay. Not far from their mansion was the third institute, managed by his family, providing knowledge to the National Defense Forces' magicians and granting access to their extensive overseas information network.

But for Gen Mitsuya, being the head of his household meant more than just power and prestige. He had the privilege of being the father of six exceptional children. Each of them excelled in various top-tier disciplines. His eldest son, Motoharu Mitsuya, at only 25 years old, had graduated from the prestigious National Magic University of Japan a year ago. His outstanding academic record at the Third High School filled him with indescribable paternal pride. He was now stepping into his new role as the future leader of the Mitsuya family and was currently stationed at one of their overseas branches.

Despite having four other sons, the youngest of them, Shirou Mitsuya, had been a prodigy from childhood. He effortlessly mastered his family's unique magic and delved deep into the "Speed Charger" magical casting technique. Shirou always astounded his father with profound questions about magic's application and development, offering bold theories and innovative advice on encryption projects and algorithms. The vision of a future illuminated by his youngest son filled Gen with excitement. Within the Mitsuya family, from the lowliest employees to distant relatives, Shirou was highly respected and beloved by all.

However, what Gen could never have imagined was that his son Shirou, despite his innate magical talent, would also excel in physical abilities, including mastery of various martial arts styles and weapons, with swordsmanship as his specialty. Shirou had always been a serious, hardworking, and honest young man. In addition to his studies, he engaged in reading, research, and the development and construction of objects with variable properties, which he referred to as "unfinished prototypes." It was no surprise when Shirou discovered a new form of magic, an unprecedented revolution that quickly labeled him as a "Magic Prodigy." He had successfully altered the magical sequences used in the "Cardinal Codes" and unveiled a new type of non-systematic magic. Gen often wondered what he had done to deserve a son like Shirou. The young man was also a dedicated protector of his younger sister, three-year-old Shiina Mitsuya.

Gen's love for his family was boundless, and he never ceased to think of them, even amid his busy business travels. Despite his jam-packed schedule filled with meetings and business affairs, he always made time for his children. That's why, before embarking on his upcoming mission in the United States of America as the representative chosen by the Ten Master Clans for the joint project experimenting with the FAE theory, Free After Execution, which explored the interaction between magic and the physical world, he took a two-week vacation with his family. Shirou insisted on accompanying him, despite the inherent risks. Gen was aware of the dangers, but his son's sincere behavior and values had touched his heart. He decided to set aside his concerns and asked himself, "What could possibly go wrong in having his son witness how he worked?" As the head of the Mitsuya family, the venerable Kudo Ken could handle the details. His only worry before embarking on his journey to America was his report during the Clan Masters' conference scheduled for six months from now.

On the other hand, both Shirou and Shiina were on the verge of beginning their education away from home, and Gen eagerly awaited the outcomes. With age, he had come to realize the crucial role of a father. He smiled at the expectations and challenges that lay ahead.

See you, my Friends, KaleidoMirror bids farewell.
